Pucci Glade is a pretty place any time of year, and do go to Rushing Water Creek if you're here at Hidden Lake Trail. Yocum Falls is a gorgeous site to visit while you're at Hidden Lake Trail, and camping
at Nanitch Campground is always a brilliant experience.
All year is a good time in the Central Cascade Range if you adore the outdoors. If you came to camp High Cascade Snowboard Camp is a great site to do that, and a wonderful place is Sand Canyon. Be careful coming to Hidden
Lake Trail, you might not ever wanna go home again. A short visit to Ramona Falls is always worthwhile; Summit Meadows is a good place to stretch your legs a bit.
Soar down the rapids of Hood River - Lake Branch in a kayak; swing by Swim Creek it's a great location to pop by.
So much fun stuff to do here in the Central Cascade Range, too glorious to be true. Get soaked paddling on Sandy River, and the friendly people of Hood River like to hang out nearby.
